i liked one of the comments, looks like somethings squids do. if it doesnt affect performance than it comes off quick. But i wouldnt risk putting paint on my tires, think about the painted lines in the road they provide crap traction
The Absolute sickest looking painted letters were on my '86 FZ600, The bike was pearl white and red, (and in near mint condition). I put a set of Pirelli Sport Demons on it and white outlined "Pirelli" and "Sport Demon". Coolests looking white letters EVER!
I painted my Pilot road 3's. They look ok. I'll get a pic up later today!
I'm just not a showy type but that being said it looks kind of cool I guess. I have never had a problem with older tires that are white walled/lettered, always liked that!
Wouldn't risk it myself. Would rather have max grip.
Also can't imagine it would fit in a number of the tread patterns of Pilot Roads (especially those cross sectional ones on the front)
